Maybe too thrilling. Burroughs quickly became a high-functioning alcoholic who downed a liter of Dewar's a night and sprayed Donna Karan for Men on his tongue to hide the smell at work. "To this day," he writes in Dry, his art director at the ad firm "has never forgiven me for calling one of our clients at home at two in the morning and initiating phone sex." You can see why she packed him off to rehab. Burroughs spent a month at an all-gay clinic in Minnesota...
Calvin, Donna and Ralph: revered designers, handy with a hemstitch and all, but getting a bit long in the tooth (Calvin Klein is 60, Donna Karan's 54 and Ralph Lauren's 63). Why do people who have enough disposable income to drop $200 on a shirt let their parents' generation tell them how to dress? Perhaps because the next design oligarchy has not yet clearly emerged.

...European fashion houses, begging them to let him carry their brands in Kuwait. None consented. Undeterred, al-Sabah went to the U.S., where business was easier.

"The traditions that became Turkish Alevism exist all over the Arab world and are very diverse." Alevis follow the Shi'ite path laid down by Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law Ali, but with a twist. "Orthodox Shi'ites...
...survived a murder attempt after refusing to procure Hrithik's services for a Mob-backed film. Last year the onslaught started. Gangsters killed the secretary of Manisha Koirala, a top actress and niece of the former prime minister of Nepal. Hrithik, Govinda, veteran actor Amrish Puri and top director Karan Johar (Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham) were assigned armed police protection after receiving death threats. And earlier this year the Mob plotted to kill actor-superstar Aamir Khan and director Ashutosh Gowariker when they rejected gangland overtures after the huge success of their Oscar-nominated Lagaan...
